    "At least" it's not more deadly (it's apparently the same) but just spreads so much faster/easier. I have a feeling that may be what's going on in some other places where the cases are rising so abruptly & out of control- it's just that we haven't identified it yet.

    Anyway, what IS DEADLY is having our hospitals overwhelmed with cases to the point they run out of ICU space, & what ELSE is deadly is losing doctors & nurses from all their cumulative exposures while caring for others. What else is deadly is if too many of our "essential workers" are home sick & unable to work. Think supply chain for food & utilities, for example.

    Everyone: please don't forget that other diseases & accidents & medical/surgical needs don't stop just because we're having a pandemic- if our health care system is overwhelmed, we can die from most anything if we can't get help- it's not only "the virus" that's lethal now. Please let's all do our part to mask & distance...please don't underestimate this, take it very seriously.
